Pakistan and Zimbabwe are currently locking horns with each other in the first ODI 2020 which is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The match began at 12.30 pm IST and here was the first run-out that went viral on social media. It was a run-out goof-up by Haris Sohail and Imam Ul Haq which drew a lot of flak on social media. This happened in the 26th over when Sikandar Raza was handling the bowling duties for Zimbabwe. Imam Ul Haq was facing the bowler and he steered the delivery to backward point.

Haq's eyes were on the ball all throughout and he hinted for a quick single to Haris. Following the hint, the batsman ran blindly and both the batsmen ended up running at the striker's end. The comical dismissal went viral on social media and obviously grabbed the attention of the fans. They went on to slam the batsmen for their sull show in the match and the few others said that they lacked intent. Check out the run-out below and then the tweets.

Dull and boring
Absolutely boring and dull batting by Pakistan. No intent to show aggression and put huge total on board.
Typical misbah mindset
